May Boat Fishing Comp

Mays boat fishing comp was a two-day affair starting at 6am Saturday 14th May until 4pm on Sunday 15 due to the 8th May being Mother’s Day. The weather looked ok so some of us ventured far…. Reel Crazy and crew headed for Jurien bay late Friday arvo and when we arrived we found a town with no eateries - the pub’s chef had Covid and the sandpiper was shut…. The good old fish and chip shop was open.

Fishing Saturday wasn’t much better fish were hard to find even at 250 meters!! Hard work for an undersized pink snapper so late Saturday we returned to fish in Perth.

The Wheymouth and crew started at Leeman and did much better they also ventured to deeper waters with much better success, each getting a Gray Banded Cod and other species. The weather in Perth was worse than predicted but didn’t stop a good turnout!

The lucky competitor prize was won by Red… Well done mate!

Men’s winner | Glenn Wheymouth (Really good bag 26 kilos plus) Veterans winner | Terry Bell Ladies winner | Samantha Broadhurst Mini junior | Ashton Marsden

UPCOMING EVENTS

The next competition is on the 2 July. Let’s all hope for an absolute spanker of a day. Good luck everyone and stay safe!

June Boat Fishing Comp

Well, the weather gods tried to be nice and what seemed to be a fair day to go fishing had its moments. Fish were on the bite early and a few of the smaller species found their way into a few bags.

A few of the larger fish like sambo and sharks were a bit light on but some very nice Bauldies, Brakesea and Dhuies were weighed in as were some very nice King George. It was a little disappointing that no ladies, juniors, or mini juniors weighed in.

Men’s winner | Glenn Wheymouth (Really good bag 26 kilos plus) Veterans winner | Terry Bell

The lucky competitor prize was won by Gary Bell (woohoo)

Don’t forget that the next Angling meeting on Wednesday 6th July is an important one for voting on motions.
